High-quality delivery and collection support tailored to the sample

We can deliver samples whose quality is difficult to control
We help streamline the milk-run of samples

We transport a variety of samples, including clinical test specimens and animal specimens. We can also transport samples whose quality is difficult to control, including those that need to be transported under controlled temperatures, by using dedicated vehicles.
In addition, we collect samples by a milk run to help improve the efficiency of collection.

Capable of delivering samples whose quality is difficult to control

Unlike regular transportation, transporting samples requires expertise such as a high level of safety and strict temperature control.
Sagawa Express's real-time monitoring system, which controls the temperature during delivery, and the use of high-quality thermostatic containers allow us to transport samples that are subject to delivery restrictions safely and securely.

We design the optimal transportation mode based on the three axes: Transportation Mode x Packing x Control Item

We can transport samples from not only private homes but also companies, organizations, hospitals, clinics, veterinary clinics, and the like to clinical testing centers, large hospitals, and research facilities.

Helping to streamline the milk-run of clinical specimens

We collect samples by visiting clinics designated on a route-by-route basis. We check the samples to be collected with clinic staff before receiving them.

Reduction of labor and running costs

You do not need to worry about arranging a replacement driver if the driver is absent.
Vehicle rental fees and parking fees can be eliminated.
We can also handle route management, interruption adjustments, and new employee training.
